Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from Ancient Greek λόγος (lógos), meaning 'ground', 'plea', 'opinion', 'expectation', 'word', 'speech', or 'reason', stemming from the verb λέγειν (légein), meaning 'to speak'. In philosophy, it was introduced by Heraclitus in the late 6th century BCE to designate the rational principle that governs the universe, later adopted by Hellenistic philosophy, Judeo-Christian theology, and modern rhetorical theory.
